Let’s Pretend this Never Happened, a mostly true memoir by Jenny Lawson, was a foul mouthed book of hilarity. In the vein of Tina Fey, Jenny Lawson records her childhood, college years, and adult life in a voice that is unlike anything I’ve ever read in a book. Written as if Lawson is talking to us, with asides, footnotes, and editors notes apologizing/clarifying, “the blogess” lives up to her name, and has gained a new reader.
I’m not sure what else there is to say… Lawson grew up in the country and has had some seriously unbelievable things happen to her in life. Each of these is told in its own chapter, mostly winding its way up to present day. She may actually be a crazy person, but in a good way, an incredibly entertaining way.
Another 4, bordering on a 5. So funny that I can’t do it justice. Read it.
